Can You Beat Dead Rising With Only Soda Cans?

This is one of the dumbest challenges yet, when I was younger me and my brothers would throw soda cans at each other and surprisingly enough they hurt. As a result of this I thought to myself, Can I Beat Dead Rising and Every Boss with Only Soda Cans?
For some details
-We have a couple of bosses that ran into issues since the Soda Can hitbox doesn't allow certain enemies to be hit, luckily we do hit a nice compromise for these
-For Brock use DREX that I've mentioned in other videos I was able to spawn in items into the Finale. Obviously this can't be done in a regular playthrough but for the spirit of the challenge it was fun to see how it would go.
-This run starts from a New Game file

Now all I can think about is how I wish dead rising had a heavy attack where holding the throw button would have frank shake the can so it explodes when it hits something

Every hit from frank is Heavy

Can a Frank box? .... No but a Soda can.....

[@Ecdycis]

Boooo

[@kamikaze4172]

Coincidentally, in Hitman, you can knock people out by launching a soda can at people's head. Granted, 47 lobs these with the speed of a lightning bolt and it explodes on impact, but still. I'm also shocked how much damage these do considering how he throws them

[@Ecdycis]

I was shocked they did so much at level 1

[@corgipants3840]

I remember way back when, I got such a kick from putting on a servbot head and chilling by the picnic area and sniping zombies from the top. Simpler times.

[@Ecdycis]

It's a blast to play around in these games

[@Skuttie]

Frank is chuggin and chargin

[@Ecdycis]

Funny enough I don't think Frank drinks a single soda

[@dawright]

Funnily enough, he does. He grabs a very funky-looking soda in the secret Brad cutscene where he discusses what can Frank publish on his story, and then drinks it once Brad goes to check on Jessie. The weirdest aspect of that cutscene is that the soda looks awful, really. Some rad brand that probably kills you on sugar alone.

[@RedStar2002B]

@@Ecdycis He can actually drink sodas in Dead Rising 4.

Nah fr.. I was busy doing something but heard your reaction to defeating him with one health bar and last bullet. Impressive!

[@InternetHydra]

Cans are really underrated, basically invalidates pistols and is the ideal tool against first half psychos.

[@Ecdycis]

Except for the convicts who decide a healthy diet is smarter

[@3D-Sandwich-Man]

Have you ever tried a no heal run? Like your not allowed to use anything that would recover Franks health. You could probably put a spin on that like having to kill all bosses and save all survivors.

[@Ecdycis]

Look at my No Damage run

[@hp2546]

Got to remember that anyone who started from level 1 have to go through the process of healing. What if he levels up? He will automatically heal. So unless you mean do not use healing items, then that is a different story. Other then that, going through the challenge where nobody gives Frank 1 damage would be counted as no healing. If Frank don't receive a single damage then he technically never healed.

[@golevka]

soda cans are my favorite way to kill Carlito in the food court

[@Ecdycis]

They hurt

[@LinkSlayer64]

Yay Frank! I was lucky during my clown fight recently while showing the game to my partner, he somehow spawned across the other side of the space ride, and kept blowing balloons, I was using the gun from the back of the truck and it just kept interrupting him blowing the balloons, which he would immediately resume. Made the fight ridiculously easy.

lmao I did not expect the damage to be that much 💀 Carlito's health just melted in the 1st encounter. 🤣

[@Ecdycis]

[@hp2546]

Challenge I have for you is can you beat Dead Rising using Steven's shopping cart. This means as soon as you beat Steven, I challenge you to kill the rest of the boss using Steven's shopping cart only as your weapon. You most likely would have to figure out how to transport Steven's shopping cart to each location. I remember when I played Marvel Superhero vs Capcom 3, Frank West's super move is actually using Steven's shopping cart.

[@dawnofthewalkers4915]

Hey Roger and his sons fooked around and they found out.

[@Ecdycis]

They did

[@mediawatcher9225]

This is the equivalent of using the basic sword in the souls games, not the strongest but far from impractical or weak

[@Ecdycis]

It was solid

[@Quandry1]

The driver seems to be leaned forward and that seems to hide him within the hitbox of the vehicle from the cans so you can't hit him. I noticed the passenger only got hit when he was leaned back and then you could hit him more towards the back of the head. when he leaned forward or lurched forward from being hit the passenger would end up with the same protection that the driver had.

[@Ecdycis]

It was neat to find out, the other issue was Carlito 3 being in the car. I have a feeling it is the Can hit box

[@lokitakahashi3042]

grape. i know im alone on that one....

Once he do this kind of challenge, he would automatically get his Karate Champ achievement. That Karate Champ Achievement may already come as a free package when attempting this kind of challenge.

[@hp2546]

So you modded yours where you are allowed to bring your own weapon in a final boss fight. If you can do that in this kind of dead rising 1 game, why not mod yours in Dead Rising 2 or Off The Record where you can bring your own weapons to fight TK?

[@Ecdycis]

DR1 modding has a lot more tools than DR2

[@Ecdycis]

Getting grabbed kills zombies and would therefore be using not soda cans. It’s a silly challenge and the zombies are meaningless

[@MariaFloresRopeLover]

Regarding the convicts respawning if you leave. That's actually an intended mechanic and is the reason the convicts are the only bosses in the game that don't drop healing/food items when killed in the Infinite Mode, since it would be very easy for the player to just farm them for 14 hours for the achievement. Not like if it mattered since in the original Xbox 360 version you were able to farm Zombie Jessie and Zombie Barnaby for healing items since they would respawn and actually drop loot despite the fact that they are zombies. Which for some reason they decided to patch out in the PC port from 2016.

[@Ecdycis]

It’s less infinity mode balance and more horrifying that dead convicts are reanimating during the games story
